Why can't this be used in ultrasonic humidifiers?

Hi. It's just too dangerous that's why. Ultrasonic and vaporizer type humidifiers expel the water + chemical solution throughout the room. Standard evaporation type humidifiers just evaporates water, and the chemical stays in the tank to do its job. These chemicals are alkyl dimethyl and diethyl ammonium chlorides. It is highly concentrated in the bottle, and causes damage to mucosal surfaces as well as the cornea. It's just like any chemical (chloride for example) that is dangerous at high concentrations.

Although I know it can be put in a diffuser, even a cotton ball & put in your AV/heat vent to purify air, I'm not sure about putting it in a humidifier.

I used it for ultrasonic humidifier for medium to large rooms and I did not find it to be very effective in reducing/removing white dust

I agree with Stuart Uggen's answer. My humidifier is made with a little place for the Pro Tec unit in the water tank, and it works well with my water supply.

I doubt that the use of a humidifier simultaneously would make any difference to the operational effectiveness of this product

Yes - if you have hard water. White dust will come from any ultrasonic humidifier that is used with mineral-laden ("hard") water. The dust is actually the mineral residue from the water, just like the salty coating you would see in the pan if you boiled salt water until it was dry. I have soft water and do not have a problem with white dust. The key issue with white dust is the water, not the humidifier.

No, it is strictly a humidifier. There's a cotton wick in it and it would just suck up all the oils. If you're looking for something that produces mist and is an oil diffuser as well I highly recommend the H2EO Ultrasonic Diffuser.

Sorry, but I haven't tried the humidifier yet. Heater capacity in a larger room is disappointing

This model humidifies via a saturated filter - you won't see any vapor as you would from an ultrasonic mechanism. Ultrasonics work well but are IMHO a real pain to maintain. This works well also and you just need to change the filters periodically. Two hours is usually not nearly long enough to detect a humidity increase. If your home has been very dry, 12 hours at least.

the box said for all ultrasonic humidifiers for I gallon or larger so I think it would work ok in yours

This unit is for a whole house humidifier to add humidity to the air of the interior of the house. It is not for AC use .

I really didn't think much of this unit. I don't know if it could be used in a humid environment but would try to contact the manufacturer.

Packaging says it works with all Homedics ultrasonic humidifiers 1 gallon tank or larger. Helps to reduce "white dust" in hard water areas. Cartridge should be replaced every 30-40 fillings, or more often if using very hard water. Cartridges are approximately 3/4"W x 1"L x 3/4"D.

I would suggest not. Use a oil burner specifically for that and just use water in humidifier.

This is meant to be used with the guitar in the case. I have humidifiers running by my guitars that are out of their cases.

I used an essential eucalyptus oil in it. Not more than half a dropper worth, but it was enough to basically corrode the plastic on the inside of the humidifier. This was my fault! Not at all blaming this otherwise stupendous product, as I just bought a replacement, but I essentially (pun?) wrecked my previous one. Learn from my mistake.

I have never used the humidifier option. I can tell you, its the very best heater I have ever owned.
